The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has warned Nigerians to be wary of people sharing fake EFCC Recruitment Form on various social media platforms.

Head, Media & Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, in a statement on Saturday, said the commission hasn’t commenced recruitment exercise for the year 2021.

“The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, wishes to alert the public about fake EFCC Recruitment Form 2021 circulating in the social media and to warn that the Commission is currently not recruiting.

“Scammers bent on defrauding hapless job seekers, have been active in the social media, providing a link for unsuspecting members of the public seeking employment into the EFCC, to obtain, “EFCC Recruitment Form 2021/2022 and Guidelines Form and apply for the ongoing EFCC recruitment 2021”.

“Fraudsters are also circulating forged Offer of Employment Letters, purporting same to be from the EFCC, and extorting members of the public. 

“The public should note that there is no ongoing recruitment in the EFCC. The purported ‘EFCC Recruitment Form 2021’, as well as the ‘official recruitment portal’ and ‘Offer of Employment Letters’, are non -existent. 

“For the avoidance of doubt, recruitment into the EFCC is a structured, transparent, and merit-driven process which is always heavily advertised through the mass media and the Commission’s social media platforms. It is highly automated, with no place for the so-called Employment Form.

“The EFCC is on the trail of the scammers behind this devious scheme as no efforts will be spared to bring them to justice.

“The Commission urges the public to cross-check any doubtful information with the agency through; info@efccnigeria.org.”
